WAY5 or We Are Young Five is taking Twitter-land by storm today April 14, 2015 as hashtag #Way5boyband trends nationwide.

WAY5 is a five-piece group

composed of musicians, singers, actors and dancers.

The members are VMiguel Gonzales, RJ Ramos, Jervy Delos Reyes, Klarenz Gaddi and Carl John Doria.

Now you might say, hey this is just another copy cat boyband trying to sound coño or K-Pop. Well name other boybands out there who are do not copy.

But that is not the point, the WAY5 is a push for OPM which is now being demanded by local market to break through and offer something new.

New efforts from established artists like Sarah Geronimo as evident in her new music Kil-ome-tro, recording companies attached to major networks such as Star Music is still living in the ancient days of the usual OPM bakya sounds or the pop mellow genre.

With today’s generation Y exposed to songs that are ever evolving, it is high time that OPM also jump in.

And WAY5 is doing just that. Their music is a mix of pop, rock and alternative. On YouTube they have a cover of the 2000s Teenage Dirt Bag, a music choice that is miles ahead and apart from the usual bubble gum pop of other local bands.
